Ideal gas behavior of a strongly coupled complex (dusty) plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a laboratory, a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma consists of a low-density ionized gas containing a confined suspension of Yukawa-coupled plastic microspheres. For an initial crystal-like form, we report ideal gas behavior in this strongly coupled system during shock-wave experiments. This evidence supports the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state for soft crystals such as those formed by dusty plasmas.

Mobility in a strongly coupled dusty plasma with gas.
The mobility of a charged projectile in a strongly coupled dusty plasma is simulated. A net force F, opposed by a combination of collisional scattering and gas friction, causes projectiles to drift at a mobility-limited velocity up. The mobility μp=up/F of the projectile's motion is obtained. Two regimes depending on F are identified. In the high-force regime, μp∝F0.23, and the scattering cross...
متن کاملComplex shear viscosity of a liquid 2D dusty plasma
Strongly-coupled dusty plasmas often exhibit liquid behavior. Liquids behave as a viscous continuum in the hydrodynamic regime. However, in the kinetic regime of a liquid, viscous and elastic effects occur at the same time [1], i.e., the liquid is said to be viscoelastic. To characterize the viscoelasticity of a liquid, the complex viscosity, () = () i(), is often used, where the real a...
متن کاملNonlinear excitations in Strongly-Coupled Plasma Lattices: Envelope solitons, kinks and Intrinsic Localized Modes
Ensembles of charged particles (plasmas) are a highly complex form of matter, most often modeled as a many-body system characterized by weak inter-particle interactions (electrostatic coupling). However, strongly-coupled plasma configurations have recently been produced in laboratory, either by creating ultra-cold plasmas confined in a trap or by manipulating dusty plasmas in discharge experime...
متن کاملSelf-Diffusion of Dust Grains in Strongly Coupled Dusty Plasma Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
In this paper diffusion of dust particles in strongly coupled dusty plasma is investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations. Self-diffusion coefficients of complex plasmas are obtained for a wide range of plasma parameters using Green-Kubo expression which is based on integrated velocity autocorrelation function (VACF). It is assumed that dust particles interact with each other by Yukawa...
متن کاملDust Acoustic Shock Waves in Coupled Dusty Plasmas with Kappa-Distributed Ions
We have considered an unmagnetized dusty plasma system consisting of ions obeying superthermal distribution and strongly coupled negatively charged dust. We have used reductive perturbation method and derived the Kordeweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdV-Burgers) equation. The behavior of the shock waves in the plasma has been investigated. Keywords—Shock, Soliton, Coupling, Superthermal ions.
